This San Jose band from the mid-1960s has had a cult following for quite some time based on a tiny handful of local sides that passed from one collector to another, enhancing their rep by word of mouth. Lead singer Beau Maggi was one of the best garage-band Jagger soundalikes, and the band had that nether ground between British fuzztone band and coming psychedelia down pretty darn well; it's all here to enjoy.
Always mentioned in the same breath as the San Jose's hallowed trio — the Syndicate Of Sound, the Chocolate Watchband and Count Five — the Mourning Reign has been woefully under-represented on wax.

The Mourning Reign - Evil Hearted You (1966)
\"Evil Hearted You\" Originally written by Graham Gouldman was a 1965 single by the British Invasion band The Yardbirds. It was part of a double \"A\" side single along with \"Still I'm Sad\"(Both songs charted at No. 3 in the UK) The single was not released in the USA, but was featured on the compilation albums Having a Rave Up and Shapes of Things.
The song is probably most known for its guitar solo featuring Spanish scales, which were highly unusual for 1965.
